Bathymetry & Coastlines

High-Resolution California Bathymetry

Multibeam + LIDAR

This project merged recently collected topographic, bathymetric, and acoustic elevation data along the entire California coastline from approximately the 10 meter elevation contour out to California's 3 mile state water's boundary.

CSMP High-Resolution Multibeam Bathymetry

The CSUMB Sea Floor Mapping Lab hosts high resolution bathymetry data for the entire California coast. Data extends to 3-km offshore, includes bathy and bathy derived products and is served in a number of formats. A new data viewer provides a map interface for selecting bathymetry data subsets without the block limitations of traditional data access. For ESRI users, data (including mosaics) can be discovered on the SFML ArcGIS server by searching for burrows.csumb.edu. This data is made available as part of the California Seafloor Mapping Project.
